Bhutan is a tiny kingdom nestled in the Himalayas. Tibetan Buddhism is woven into every fiber of Bhutanese culture. Bhutan is portrayed as one of the happiest places on earth, yet Bhutanese people’s lives are filled with fear. These fears are centered around appeasing local deities and warding off evil with religious rituals. The elderly can often be found in trance-like states spinning prayer wheels and reciting mantras in hope of a better life after death.
Bhutan is isolated from the rest of the world not just by its terrain, but also because of its suspicion of outsiders. Visas cost $250 a day, and visitors must always be accompanied by a registered guide. Visiting a temple or other areas requires special permits.
Christianity is highly restricted in Bhutan. To convert to Christianity could mean losing jobs and being disowned by family and friends. Having a house church or even a meeting with friends with the intent of sharing the love of Jesus can result in imprisonment.
There is a fledgling group of Tibetan Buddhists that have turned to Jesus, less than 1,000 at this time.
